Description: | Scale: Unknown. A model of a double canoe carved from two single pieces of wood and painted grey. The two hulls are virtually identical and are attached to one another by two poles at the bow end and a length of twine at the stern. Both of the hulls are circular in section, taper markedly towards the stern, and have rectangular apertures on the top. On the starboard hull at the stern is a male figure wearing a turban and a loin cloth holding a quant. Seated in the port side hull is a woman and child wearing traditional dress. The model is displayed on a flat rectangular baseboard which has been painted to simulate rippling water.
